Hi everyone, I am using Windows XP Pro. After my machines boots and loads stuff, there are still no icons displayed on the desktop. I have tried many different ways to make it work, but it did not. It works just fine with Safe Mode. Please help. Many thanks in advance.

If it was a clean install of XP there will only be 1 icon, the recycle bin. If you upgraded over something you may have formatted your disk and only XP remains, hence, no icons.
